Vermont sheep Interests.

Since the great depreciation in value of
Merino sheep, Vermont farmers, to a limit
ed extent, have turned their attention to
the long wooded breeds Though these
sheep have not made fabulous returns to
their owners, as did the Mernos in their
palmy days, still the returns from them
have been quite satisfactory. and the profits
on the amount of capital invested have eX-
ceeded those of most other branches of
farming. SO far as our observation has
extended, but few, if any, farmers, breed
these sheep to the exclusion of all other
kinds of stock There is a prevalent be
lief, with perhaps more or less reason for
it, that long wooded sheep thrive much bet
ter in small flocks than in large ones con
sequently there is a tendency to small
locks, which, in connection with cattle,
give the farmer a diversified or mixed farm
ing that, in many respects, has its advan-
tages as well as disadvantages.
In keeping long-wooled sheep for profit,
good feed is absolutely essential the year
round The most important part of this
business is early lambs for market. That
these may be dropped in a strong, healthy
condition, it is necessary that the ewes
should be in good health and flesh. The
farmer who is looking out for early lambs
for market another season already has his
eye on MS breeding ewes, ana Is careful TO
have them in such feed as will make them
in fine condition when they come to the
barn and they must be kept in this condi-
ton during the entire winter and spring.
With proper care flock Of long-woOle /
sheep will give the owner an average of 81
each in wool and lambs. During the pres
ent season our flock of 30 grade breeding
ewes has given us just s. each in wool and
lambs, and they have received no extra
care and attention, but have had an abun-
dance of good feed. The lambs We're taken
away the first Of August, and the sheep
are now in fine condition for winter. They
are large, strong animals, and were bred
from the Merinos. Most of them are three
fourths Cotswold, some a grade higher. Al
the present time there is no excuse what
ever for the farmer to raise grade MerinC
sheep and sell the lambs for 81 % per head
and the chances are that not more than
half the ewes will raise their lambs, even
at that low price but the farmer who own,
these grade Merinos need not and should
not sell them at sacrifice and pay long
prices for fne-wooled sheep. He SHOULD
get a frst-class, thoroughbred long or mid
die wooded buck for use with his ewes
From Sl5 to $25 will buy such a buck o.
either class. With judcious care, gooC
feeding and careful selection of the hes
eve lambs for breeding, the farmer can il
three or four years raise a flock of sheer
that will please him every day in the year
Try it, brother farmer. We will warran
you no loss in the eXperiment.-Rurdi Yer

Informed about Vermont.
In connection with what has been said of
inviting immigration TO Vermont, n few
facts relating to the nativity Of the people
Of the United States may be Of interest
The natives Of England, Scotland and
Wales residing in the United States num-
Der enough 10 make three states equal in
population 10 Vermont The natives Of
Germany. resident here, would make six
states, each more than equal to Vermont in
the number Of inhabitants. The natives of
Ireland living in the United States also
number about as many as would make six
states as large in population ns Vermont.
There are half million natives of Norway,
Sweden and Denmark in this country. The
total annual foreign immigration would fill
two states each with population nearly
equal to that Of Vermont.
Excepting the northern tier of counties
bordering on Canada, aud the counties on
Lake Champlain, which have a considerable
number of natives of Canada, and except
ing the Irish residents of the state, only "A
few stragglers from all these millions of
immigrants have stopped in Vermont; but
thousands of them might have done better
if they had, and thousands still to come
should be advised of the opportunities for
them here, where comfortable farm homes
may be had for less than the cost of the
buildings and fences. There is class of
immigrants, it is true, that we do not want
but those who buy and settle upon farms,
or engage in honorable business will gene
rally make good citizens.

The report on wool and wool manufac-
lures, just finished by Col w. f. Switller,
chief of the bureau of statistics, shows that
the number of sheep in the United States
rose from 10, 000, 600 in 1910 to 81, 600, 600
in 1884, but declined to $4,000, 600 in 1887.
This marked decline occurred mainly i'll the
southern and western states, notably in
Texas, and is attributed in great part to the
decline in the price of wool since 1884.
Great Britain is our first and the Argentine
Republic our next greatest source of sup
ply, followed by Australia. Our imports of
wool rose from 1,715, 500 pounds in 1922 to
ia, 03S, 030 pounds in 1887.
The increase in wool imports has about
kept pace with the growth of our wool
products, both having nearly doubled since
1850. From 1864 to 1868, 1G1 900, 900 pounds
we're produced and AZ, 600 600 imported
from 1874 to 1873, 10S,OOO,OOO were pro
duced and Al, 600, 600 imported from 1882
to 1886. POI, 100000 were produced and
$1,000, 600 imported.
The value of our wooden product of 1886
vas S@D,uOu,OOu Ill lOullN hulilbSl0i anu vi
our imports $40, 900, 600, both together be
ing about 81 9j per capita of our popula
ton. In 1860 $50, 900, 900 in value wert
produced and $43, 900, 600 imported, togeth
er being about 81 per capita. In 1876
the product reached Sll0, 600, 600 and tn,
imports $35, 600, 900, being 50. IS per capita
In 1880 the product had grown to Sl6i, 600,
600 and the imports were valued ut S3l
100000, being 500 per capita. Thus, while
our product of woolens has increased sine,
1850 nearly sevenfoldsour imports have in
creased about &c per cent but the con
sumption per capita has doubled, which tn,
statistcan says indicates in striking man
ner the advancement of wealth and comfor

Introduction Of the arnhmn Fowls.

In the vcnr 1919. a Hartford man, Mr..
Chamberlain, saw, on the docks in New
York. ON board of an East lndiaman just
i'm from a long voyage, and in possession of
n sailor. some fowls. They were clearly of
the Asiatic family, but different from the
Sbanghaes. Chittagongs. and Cochin Chi
mas. with which he was familiar. So he
bought tkcm and took them home. His
business, however, iuterfered with his
bringing them before the public, so he part
ed with them TO Mr.. Virgil Cornish, then
of Hartford, subsequently of New Britain,
who propagated them successfully until he
had a fine stock They were not brought
ont until 1852 at a great poultry show in
Boston, where they received the name
B,uhna Pooird, because they had come
from port near the mouth of II river of
that name They were highly appreciated
at once. ON account of their great beauty,
fine form, aud large size. They helped
greatly to boom the so-called hen fever,
which had been prevalent, and was begin
ming to flag One of their distinguishing
peculiarities is the triple comb-a central
comb rather low set, and a small comb on
each side of it, and becoming one with 1t
above the base Somewhat similar combs
had been noticed occasionally in other breeds
of Asiatic fowls, and the Malays had a
clumsy, irregular triple comb, which had
been called pea comb, for what reason
it is rather hard to tell. The Brahmas all
possess the comb described in a small and
beautiful form, almost without exception,
and this is called pea comb from its triple
form They exhibited from the very first
that peculiar thoroughbred look which
marks thoroughly well bred, pure blooded
animals of all kinds.-Anl. AUicmturiSt

One Hundred Dollar. in Gold.

II is not often that farmers and farmers wives,
OF people generally who keep hens, have an OPP
purtunity to make from $40 to $50 in eight weeks
time, besides increasing the number Of eggs from
their hens from 40 to 500 per cent but like ith of
July, il does come once year, and now is the
time.
For three years l. S. johnson & Co., ~ Custom
Huusc-st Boston, Mass, have offered several pre-
miums, payable In gold coin, for the best results
from the use Of Sheridans Powder to make hens
lay. These premiums have become SO popular
among people who keep hens that johnson & Co.
offer still larger premiums this year They here
10y authorize as To say that they will pay 500 in
gold coin, IN four parate premiums, Tor the four
best results from an eight weeks trial of Shcri-
dams Powder To make hens lay. The premiums
are as follows: Fifty dollars for the best result:
- for the second; Slj for the third; $40 for the
fourth best result
OF course every person who Completes cannot
get premium but the following letter from a
party who took only small premium last year
shows that every one can make money by the ust
of sheridan s Powder from the incrras. uf eggs

Harvesting mud s,orinr PotntOc-.

The crop this year is not so large as to
require the usual force to handle it, but the
price it will bring is such as to justify the
best of care in getting it to market. Most
of the potatoes are already out of the
ground. Those that are not should be, as
there is nothing to be gained in leaving
them longer in the hills. Whatever nipple
ment is used in taking them from the soil
it should be one that will not peel and
bruise them, as injuries of this kind not
only hurt their appearance and sale but
actually injure their keeping qualities, and
also their quality and flavor, when cooked
The effect of sunshine or even strong light
upon their flavor however, is even more
disastrous, and no care should be spared to
free them from the attaching particles of
soil and store them in dark place as soon
as possible Warmth produces decomposi-
ton and new potatoes when closely stored
seem to generate heat; so "A generous cir
culation of cool air is a great advantage at
first, Reduce the temperature well down
toward the freezing point as soon as pos
sible, and then have few changes, if you
wish your potatoes to come out in good
condition. Next to open crates, well ven
tilated bins are best for storing potatoes in
the cellar

Feed for Driving Horses.

A correspondent of the London Live
Stock Journal, speaking of the shortage of
the English hay crop, calls attention TO the
fact that in the feeding of driving horses
hay can be economical by the admixture of
oil seed meals and wheat bran. The meals
may certainly be substituted with advan-
tage to the health of the horses 1t must
not, however, be forgotten that horses used
for speed, or comparatively fast driving,
must have their food in small bulk THAT is,
cOncentrated) so that the muscles may have
free play and not be restrained by the pres
to ten pounds of hay chatf per day, accord
ing to rapidity of driving is all that should
be fed, Prof f.. w. Stewart gives the fol
lowing details of a good ration for horse,
of light weight and moderate driving:
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1887-11-04

In this the ground meal should be mixed
together dry, and then well mixed with the
hay chat after the latter has been well
moistened. The chaif should he moistened
only enough to enable the meal to stick to
il, as feed should not be wet for road hors-
es The food here given would he sufficient
for day, but given at two or three meals,
the times for which should be regular. For
heavier horses (say of l20O-pound weight
the rations should be proportionately larg
er, but the addition should be made in the
meals and not to the hay. This food will
keep the digestive organs in healthy con
dition and the coat in glossy state -Stock
